England vs Ghana LIVE
England set an all-time World Cup record vs Ghana - But it's not a good one ⚠️
We leave you with this shocking statistic... Was this just a freak aberration or do England have problems?
Is Harry Kane's late miss among the worst you have seen from an England player?
Can you name a worse one?
We want to hear your PLAYER RATINGS for England...
Did ANYONE stand out for good reasons?
BE HONEST: Do you think Jordan Pickford should've been sent off in the 0-0 draw with Ghana?
He was given a free-kick instead...
😳 FULL-TIME: 0-0… Just how disappointed were you with that England performance? Still think we can win it?
93' - OFF THE LINE!
So close again for England! A header from Guehi this time is cleared off the line by a Ghanian defender.
90' - Six minutes added on...
Can England win it late?
86' - ENGLAND HIT THE CROSSBAR
O'Reilly gets up well at the back post but can only find the crossbar with his resulting header. Better from England.
85' - RASHFORD ON FOR ENGLAND
The winger has come on for Madueke.
78' - ENGLAND SAVED BY THE OFFSIDE FLAG
England have just been massively bailed out by the offside flag after Adu burst through on goal on the right-side of the penalty area. Just as he was about to shoot, Konsa leaped into a tackle with two feet and appeared to foul the sub. Luckily for the Villa man, Adu was offside...
70' - MORE ATTACKING ENGLAND SUBSTITUTIONS
This time it's Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze coming on for Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham. Time for Rogers to win back his starting role?
70' - Yep...it's hydration break time
Just when England started to look a bit more effective in the final third with Madueke now out on the left flank. Will he be the man to make the difference?
67' - PICKFORD MAY HAVE JUST GOT VERY LUCKY...
The goalkeeper stormed out to try and cut off a through ball to Prince Kwabena Adu on the edge of the box. Instead of getting the ball, he seemed to clatter Adu instead. The result? A free-kick to England...we're not sure either...
64' - ENGLAND SUBSTITUTIONS
Nico O'Reilly and Bukayo Saka are on for Djed Spence and Anthony Gordon. Was this the right call from Tuchel?
63' - MADUEKE SIDE-FOOTS WIDE
The Arsenal wide player is teed up nicely by Gordon on the right edge of the penalty area, but sees his curling effort fly over the crossbar.
57' - MUCH BETTER FROM ENGLAND
After being shouted at by Thomas Tuchel, England's attackers haven woken up! Some nice play from Gordon and Spence on the right-flank led to a few pops a goal from Madueke and Gordon respectively. Neither troubled the goalkeeper, but it's a start...
55' - Let's give Senaya some props
The full-back has made light-work of Anthony Gordon so far. Could he be a potential summer signing for an English team if he continues this form?
49' - A SCARE FOR ENGLAND
Ghana's POTM so far Marvin Senaya just burst in behind the England defence to latch onto a high through ball. His subsequent shot/cross was slightly wayward through and England were able to clear, but some worrying signs. Ghana's confidence is growing.
SECOND HALF KICK OFF
It can only get better...right? What's the first substitute you'd bring on for England if the dire football continues?
😐 HALF-TIME: 0-0. What does Thomas Tuchel need to say to the England players at half-time?
48' - KANE'S FIRST SHOT ON GOAL
Harry Kane finally gets the ball in a dangerous area on the edge of the box, and England finally nearly score as a result. The captain shimmied the ball out of his feet well but saw his low strike deflected out for a corner.
45' - Six minutes added on at the end of the half
That's six too many.
40' - YELLOW CARD FOR RICE
Rice tried to steal the ball off of Jerome Opoku in the final third, but clipped his heels instead. Amazingly, that's England's first yellow card of the tournament.
36' - CHANCE FOR RICE!
A first real sight of goal for England comes thanks to Madueke's pace on the right flank. The Arsenal man burst toward the touchline and dinked a lovely cross onto the head of Rice, who headed just over the bar.
33' - England's build-up play needs three things:
Pace, pace and even more pace. When England play with pace, they look like they'll cause Ghana problems.
25' - Boos for the official hydration break...again
A few minute after a stoppage we have another one. What's your take on the hydration breaks?
21' - Hydration break? Sort of.
Players have gone over for a hydration break during an injury stoppage, but have now been pulled away from the touchline by the referee. He's indicating that there will be a 'proper' hydration break in two minutes time. Great...
15' - It's only a matter of time...
Ghana are sitting far too deep. It's hard to see them holding on against this England attack for too much longer...
7' - As expected, it's all England so far
England have dominated the early proceedings, with Ghana sitting incredibly deep in their own half. Positive early signs for Tuchel's side!
